Expected a rejection and frankly don't care! Got better offer from the States

In response to poster below. Thank you! I expected a "standard" interview with questions on background, motivation, expectations of the program and perhaps a couple of technical questions. Not at all, went fully technical for 40 minutes. Was told to present myself, and then I had non-stop questions until we ran late for another interview. Topics included game theory, time series (some questions with an AR1 process), probabilities, stochastic processes, finance (interest rate, finance). No question was insanely hard individually, but the interview was challenging, as questions just follow each other, and are not straightforward either (they often involve some own reasoning, thinking by yourself and showing how you think facing a problem you may not be familiar with). Pressure during interview and my own (by far my top choice) make it hard; questions are not there to trick the candidate. To me, it is very important to stay calm and focused facing such pressure, keep a clear/fresh mind and guide the professors in your process of thinking. I personally had some questions wrong: no big deal, we just moved to different ones. Professors were keen to give hints when I appeared to be stuck. It seemed more about having a quantitative way of thinking than just being a theorem genius. NB: my notification was still unofficial, where I pursue the DPhil exactly and the funding matter are yet to be decided. Hopefully no trouble happens now. Hope this description was of use to you! Best wishes!

To the guy who posted his acceptance below, Congratz!! Can you please tell us how technical was the interview?

Email from Professor I was interviewed by. Unofficial notification, offer details to be decided soon.
